John MacArthur - Dispensationalism

Calvinist Soteriology and Dispensationalism are not at odds with each other @Van

MacArthur proves that, I prove that.
Did I say they were? Nope. Calvinist Soteriology is obviously false doctrine. Progressive Dispensationalism is not obviously false.

Yet another post, signifying nothing.
You made an appeal to an authority I've never heard of. That is what that signified.

First no it's not obviously false, and yes, read post 24 you did quote someone and say that the two are not compatible. Do you even know what you write?

I heard Mac say last night that "you must break every rule of Biblical interpretation to not be dispensational."

Ever notice Calvinism is defended by attacking truth with false claims? Jesus taught us to stick with the truth, saying our yes should mean yes and our no should be no.
Did I appeal to authority? Nope I quoted a Reformed theologian teaching Dispensationalism departs from Reformed theology. But that point was ignored and a false claim was made. Does post #24 say Reformed theology and Dispensationalism are "incompatible?" Nope, I said Dispensationalism departs from Reformed Theology.

Such is the stuff of Calvinism, one falsehood after another by those who seem to hate truth.

Calvinism does not exclude dispensationalism.

Did I say otherwise? Nope. So what was the purpose of the post? Such is the stuff of Calvinism, one falsehood after another by those who seem to hate truth.

What was your point of post 12 then?

Calvinist view = the Millennial Kingdom does not refer to an actual one thousand year reign on earth by Jesus from David's throne.

Dispy view = The Millennial Kingdom refers to an actual one thousand year reign on earth by Jesus from David's throne.
This is just wrong. I'm a calvinist, so is MacArthur, and we both believe a literal 1,000 year reign. Get your facts straight.

It is a fact that Reformed Theology is primarily Amillennalist.

Perhaps primarily a millennial, but MacArthur shows you that not all in the Reformed camp have the same eschatology while all hold the same soteriology.
